Where is Spring?

Woke up this morning to a covering of snow outside. Does the weather not know this is almost MAY??? Yesterday we had hailstones and thunderstorms and this morning snow. Ridiculous!
So dreaming of sunnier times I made this -

I had a small piece of watercolour card left over so used it!

Smooshing with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry DI's with a teeny bit of Squeezed Lemonade which hasn't shown up very well in the pic but is very subtle on the actual panel.

The stamps are Inkylicious 'Humming Bird Garden'.
Matted onto black then onto the already matted base card with 3d pads.
The sentiment is (as those of you who follow me regularly will know!) one of my bestest bestest favourites!

Heating is on and I may have to venture out for food... (cos there's none in the kitchen!) - other than that I ain't budging from the craftie space!
(Apart from a quick visit to the Playground to see if Sarn has some warming soup or even better some hot choccie topped with cream and marshmallows!)

Where is it indeed Viv, we woke to to a hard frost, then some sunshine now rain again. A very pretty background to the spring branches and birdies, at last that looks like Spring. Already have the migraine ahead of this evening, but so happy for families and friends of the 96, justice at last.

Yes, come on over to the Playground Tree House . . . you can ALWAYS find hot chocolate brewing - with a little something to "spice" it up from underneath Brenda's bench (I know where her hidey hole is, but don't tell her I know!).

What a very pretty and gorgeous background, love the use of the black on the stamp, Woke up with sore throat and streaming cold this morning, not one at all, all winter, like you say, it is nearly May.

Beautiful card Viv, love the colours used. As to where is Spring its still here in Australia(feels like it I tell you its hard to believe we are into the last month of Autumn) and if Sarn has no hot choc left I have a wee bottle of scotch hidden behind the bicycle shed with a nip or two left in it.

Such a beautiful scene and finished card. I love pink background, it's so pretty behind your stamped scene. This is just perfect for our 'Pink & Girly' challenge this week. Thank you for sharing and joining in with the fun at Sweet Stampin’ this week and good luck. Hugs Janine xx

About Me

I love being in my crafty space! It's a place where I can make cards, paint, alter stuff and lose myself!!
If I manage to sell anything I've made the proceeds go to Breast Cancer Campaign.
I am a football fanatic and am a mad Liverpool FC supporter.
I've been tracing my family tree for the last 7 years (with one ancestry line traced back to 1605!) and this is another addiction.
I divide my time up doing all the things I like to do - crafting, genealogy, and playing bowls! I am lucky enough to have formed several friendships through my crafting and love being in blogland!
